Installing a Whole House Water Filter – A Simple DIY Upgrade for Clean Water


Have you ever turned on the tap and wondered what’s really in your water? If you’re like us, you want the cleanest, freshest water possible for your home. That’s why we decided to install the Geekpure 2-Stage Whole House Water Filter System, and let me tell you—it’s a total game-changer!

This system helps remove rust, sediment, chlorine taste, and odors, ensuring that every faucet in the house delivers cleaner water. Whether you’re filling up a glass, washing dishes, or hopping in the shower, this little upgrade makes a big difference.

Why We Installed It

We noticed some rust and sediment in our water, and while it wasn’t terrible, we knew it could be better. Rather than relying on small filters at individual sinks, we wanted a whole-house solution—one that would improve every drop of water in our home.

The Installation Process

We installed our system right in the garage, but you can mount it anywhere your main water line enters—a utility room, crawlspace, or another spot that works for you. It was a straightforward DIY job that involved:

✅ Mounting the filter bracket
✅ Cutting into the main water line
✅ Plumbing the system in and reconnecting the house line

Now, we’ve got cleaner, better-tasting water throughout the entire house, and it feels great knowing we’ve eliminated so much gunk before it ever reaches our taps!
